The speed control module is used for driving the lance to a target position through the first motors according to the action information, and changing the speed of the interpolation movement of the lance in the three-dimensional direction into a trapezoid acceleration and deceleration. In this embodiment, the speed control module is used for calculating the travel distance and travel time of each axial direction of the lance in the acceleration stage, uniform speed stage and deceleration stage according to the initial speed, the given feed speed, the acceleration and the feed distance, and then transmitting the corresponding travel information to each of the first motors, so that the first motors drive the lance to the target position according to the corresponding travel information.

Referring to FIG. 3, V₀ means the initial speed, V_(max) means the given feed speed, V_(e) means the final speed. T₁ means the acceleration time, T₂ means the uniform time, T₃ means the deceleration time, a means the acceleration. A means the acceleration, the change of velocity can be divided into accelerating, uniform and decelerating parts. The calculation formula of the travel speed of the lance is:

${V(t)} = \left\{ \begin{matrix} {{V_{0} + {at}},{t \in \left\lbrack {0,t_{1}} \right)}} \\ {V_{{{ma}\; x}\;},{t \in \left\lbrack {t_{1},{t\; 2}} \right)}} \\ {{V_{{ma}\; x} - {at}},{t \in \left\lbrack {t_{2},t_{3}} \right)}} \end{matrix} \right.$

Therefore, the calculation formula of the travel distance of the lance is:

${L(t)} = \left\{ \begin{matrix} {{{V_{0}t} + {\frac{1}{2}at^{2}}},{t \in \left\lbrack {0,t_{1}} \right)}} \\ {{L_{1} + {V_{{ma}\; x}t}},{t \in \left\lbrack {t_{1},t_{2}} \right)}} \\ {{L_{2} + {V_{{ma}\; x}t} - {\frac{1}{2}at^{2}}},{t \in \left\lbrack {t_{2},t_{3}} \right)}} \end{matrix} \right.$

The calculation method of the feed distance includes: (1) calculating the total time of the lance in the acceleration stage, uniform speed stage and deceleration stage; (2) calculating the first product of the total time and the initial speed; (3) calculating the first square of the acceleration time in the acceleration stage, the second square of the deceleration time in the deceleration stage, the second product of the acceleration time and the deceleration time, and the third product of the acceleration time and the uniform time in the uniform speed stage; (4) accumulating the first square, twice the second product, and twice the third product, then subtracting the second square from the sum result; (5) calculating the third product of half the acceleration and the calculation result in step (4); and (6) accumulating the first product with the calculation result in step (5), and the addition result is equal to the feed distance. Therefore, the calculation formula of the feed distance is:

$L = {{V_{0}\left( {T_{1} + T_{2} + T_{3}} \right)} + {\frac{a}{2}\left( {T_{1}^{2} + {2T_{1}T_{2}} + {2T_{1}T_{3}} - T_{3}^{2}} \right)}}$

Where, the acceleration time is equal to the deceleration time, and the calculation method of the acceleration time includes: (3.1) calculating the first difference between the given feed speed V_(m) and the initial speed; and (3.2) calculating the first ratio of the first difference to the acceleration, and the first ratio is equal to the acceleration time. The acceleration distance and the deceleration distance are both equal to half the second ratio, the uniform distance is equal to the fourth difference between the feed distance and the second ratio. Therefore, the calculation formulas of the time in the acceleration stage, uniform speed stage and deceleration stage are:

${{T_{3} = {T_{1} = {\frac{1}{a}\left( {V_{{ma}\; x} - V_{0}} \right)}}}T_{2}} = {\frac{1}{V_{m\; {ax}}}\left( {L - \frac{V_{{ma}\; x}^{2} - V_{0}^{2}}{a}} \right)}$

Therefore, the calculation formulas of the travel distance in the acceleration stage, uniform speed stage and deceleration stage are:

$L_{1} = {L_{3} = \frac{V_{m\; {ax}}^{2} - V_{0}^{2}}{2a}}$ $L_{2} = {L - \frac{V_{{ma}\; x}^{2} - V_{0}^{2}}{a}}$

Where, L₁ means the travel distance in the acceleration stage, L₂ means the travel distance in the uniform speed stage, L₃ means the travel distance in the deceleration stage.

Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, in this embodiment, the speed control module includes a first divider, an integrator, a speed accumulator, a first comparator, a second divider, a third divider, a counter and a second comparator. The first divider is used for dividing the frequency of the generated system clock to generate a sampling pulse. The period of the sampling pulse is T, the input system clock is 50MHz, and the frequency of division coefficient is 1000, so the frequency after the clock frequency division is 5×104 Hz. The integrator is used for multiply the sampling pulse with the given feed speed to obtain a speed increment, the speed increment is equal to AT. The speed accumulator is used for accumulating the initial speed with the speed increment to obtain the real-time speed of the lance, and the calculation formula is V=V0+AT. The first comparator is used for comparing the real-time speed and the given feed speed. The second divider is used for calculating the clock frequency according to the frequency of an output pulse when the real-time speed is less than the given feed speed, and the calculation formula is N=clk/f . The third divider is used for dividing the clock frequency N and generating acc pluse an_output pulse for driving the first motors to accelerate. The counter is used for counting the output pulse acc_pluse and generating a count value Pulse_cnt . The second comparator is used for comparing twice the count value Pulse_cnt and a preset total number of pulses Pulse total. When the total number Pulse total is no more than twice the count value Pulse_cnt, the motion controller is used for slowing down the lance through the first motors.

The system is in the initial state when it is just started, when the given feed speed V_(max) is set, the lance will enter the acceleration stage, otherwise, the lance will remain unchanged. In the acceleration process, when the speed V in the accumulator accumulates continuously until it reaches the speed V_(max), and the total number Pulse_total is greater than twice the count value Pulse_cnt, it enters the uniform speed state. If the total number Pulse_total is less than twice the count value Pulse_cnt, the deceleration phase is entered. JS is as a deceleration signal, when it is inputted, the system will directly start to decelerate, otherwise keep accelerating. In the uniform process, the system always outputs pulses at the speed V_(max) to the interpolation module. The number of remaining pulses redim_Pulse_cnt is equal to the result of the total number of pulses minus the number of pulses output in the accelerated state, until the number of remaining pulses is less than or equal to the number of output pulses, the system enters the deceleration phase. In the decelerating process, the current speed V is reduced all the way to the beginning state, and an acceleration and deceleration cycle is completed, otherwise, the deceleration is still performed.

Referring to FIG. 6, the interpolation module includes a first interpolation unit, a second interpolation unit and a control unit. The first interpolation unit is used for storing the displacement in the direction of each dimension in the corresponding register, and accumulating the displacement in the corresponding interpolation accumulator at intervals of a preset time interval. And the overflow pulse generated by each accumulation in the corresponding interpolation accumulator is used as an impulse equivalent to drive the corresponding first motor for linear interpolation. he second interpolation unit is used for storing the initial values of two axes in the registers corresponding to the other axis, and accumulating in two interpolation accumulators corresponding to the two axes respectively. And the overflow pulse generated by each accumulation in each interpolation accumulator is used as an equivalent pulse to drive the first motor corresponding to another axis for circular interpolation. The control unit is used for rotating the clamp or the lance to reach a specified position by driving the corresponding second motor, according to the rotation information.

Referring to FIG. 7, the initial position of the lance is defined as the original point O, and the coordinate of the final position of the lance is (x_(e), y_(e), z_(e)). If the lance moves along line OP with the speed V, V can be decomposed into three velocities V_(x), V_(y) and V_(z), of the moving point in the direction of X, Y and Z axes. In a time Δt, the displacement increment along the X, Y and Z axes is calculated by:

$\quad\left\{ \begin{matrix} {{\Delta x} = {V_{x}\Delta t}} \\ {{\Delta y} = {V_{y}\Delta t}} \\ {{\Delta \; z} = {V_{z}\Delta t}} \end{matrix} \right.$

The length of line OP is defined as l, so that

${\frac{V}{l} = {\frac{V_{x}}{x_{e}} = {\frac{V_{y}}{y_{e}} = {\frac{V_{z}}{z_{e}} = k}}}},$

k is a constant. The changes in displacement of the axes are:

$\left\{ {\begin{matrix} {{\Delta \; x} = {kx_{e}\Delta \; t}} \\ {{\Delta y} = {ky_{e}\Delta \; t}} \\ {{\Delta \; z} = {kz_{e}\Delta \; t}} \end{matrix}.} \right.$

If Δt is equal to 1, the displacement of the lance in the X-axis direction is equal to the product of a constant, the accumulated times of interpolation accumulator, and the coordinate value x_(e). The displacement of the lance in the Y-axis direction is equal to the product of the constant, the accumulated times, and the coordinate value y_(e). The displacement of the lance in the Z-axis direction is equal to the product of the constant, the accumulated times, and the coordinate value z_(e). Therefore, the calculation formula of the displacement in the three-dimensional direction is:

$\quad\left\{ \begin{matrix} {x = {{\int_{0}^{t}{kx_{e}dt}} = {knx_{e}}}} \\ {y = {{\int_{0}^{t}{ky_{e}dt}} = {kny_{e}}}} \\ {z = {{\int_{0}^{t}{kz_{e}dt}} = {knz_{e}}}} \end{matrix} \right.$

The product of the constant and the accumulated times is equal to 1. When processing line OP, the endpoint coordinates x_(e), y_(e) and z_(e) are firstly reduced to kx_(e), ky_(e) and kz_(e), then the coordinate value matching the line should be accumulated for several times. For the value of k, increment Δx, Δy and Δz should be less than 1, so that there is no feed pulse number greater than 1 on each axis, namely:

$\quad\left\{ \begin{matrix} {{\Delta x} = {{kx_{e}} < 1}} \\ {{\Delta \; y} = {{ky}_{e} < 1}} \\ {{\Delta \; z} = {{kz_{e}} < 1}} \end{matrix} \right.$

When the register is an m bit register, and the maximum capacity is equal to the difference between two to the power of m and 1, namely: 2^(m)−1,

$k < {\frac{1}{2^{m} - 1}.}$

The accumulated times is equal to two to the power of m, namely: n=2^(m),

$k = {\frac{1}{2^{m}}.}$

Referring to FIG. 8, these calculations are all done in binary, and to multiply something by

$\frac{1}{2^{m}},$

just keeping the number the same and move it to the left by m bits. Therefore, in the case of linear interpolation, x_(e), y_(e) and z_(e) can be stored in their respective registers, and then they can be calculated separately at every time interval Δt . Each time the accumulator overflows, the motor on the corresponding axis will be driven to move one pulse equivalent. If we add 2^(m) times to

${\frac{1}{2^{m}}x_{e}},{\frac{1}{2^{m}}y_{e}\mspace{14mu} {and}\mspace{14mu} \frac{1}{2^{m}}z_{e}},$

the total number of times added is also the number of pulse overflow, and the motion of the three axes also reaches the end point.

In this embodiment, the input of the linear interpolation unit includes the clock clk, the reset signal rstn, and the quadrant_value is the quadrant value. When the value is 0, the first quadrant interpolation is performed. When the value is 1, the second quadrant interpolation is performed; and so on. When the value is 7, the eighth quadrant interpolation is performed. X_reg, Y_reg and Z_reg respectively store the initial values of X, Y and Z axes. When the start signal comes, the accumulative registers of the three axes X_acc_reg, Y_acc_reg and Z_acc_reg start to accumulate. When the counter pulse_Cnt is full, the overflow pulse X_pulse, Y_pulse and Z_pulse drives the motor movement of each axis. According to the different control motor interpolation quadrant forward or reverse. Busy signal, whose value equals 1 means that the line interpolation is executed, and whose value equals 0 means that the interpolation ends.

The output of the three-axis direction pulse corresponding to each quadrant interpolation is shown in Table. 1. Positive output represents positive rotation of the motor, while negative output represents motor reversal.

TABLE 1 different quadrant interpolation axis feed direction table first second third fourth fifth sixth seventh eighth quadrant quadrant quadrant quadrant quadrant quadrant quadrant quadrant X-axis +X −X −X +X +X −X −X −X Y-axis +Y +Y −Y −Y +Y +Y −Y +Y Z-axis +Z +Z +Z +Z −Z −Z −Z +Z

Referring to FIG. 9, in the two-dimensional plane formed by the X-axis and Y-axis, the velocity of a point along the circle Q(x,y) in the first quadrant is the speed V. Its partial velocity V_(x) in the X-axis direction and the partial velocity V_(y) in the Y-axis direction can be expressed as follows:

$\quad\left\{ \begin{matrix} {V_{x} = {V\mspace{14mu} \sin \; \theta}} \\ {V_{y} = {V\mspace{14mu} \cos \; \theta}} \end{matrix} \right.$

Wherein,

${{\sin \; \theta} = \frac{y}{r}},{{\cos \; \theta} = \frac{x}{r}},$

so that the relationship of the speed of the point A and the displacement is:

$\frac{V}{r} = {\frac{V_{x}}{y} = {\frac{V_{y}}{x} = {k.}}}$

From the above equation, we can get:

$\quad\left\{ \begin{matrix} {V_{x} = {\frac{{dx}_{i}}{dt} = {{V\mspace{14mu} \sin \; \theta} = {{{rk}\mspace{14mu} \sin \; \theta} = {ky}_{i}}}}} \\ {V_{y} = {\frac{{dy}_{i}}{dt} = {{{- V}\mspace{14mu} \cos \; \theta} = {{{- {rk}}\mspace{14mu} \sin \; \theta} = {- {kx}_{i}}}}}} \end{matrix} \right.$

Corresponding to the time increment, the displacement increment on the coordinates x and y can be expressed as

$\left\{ {\begin{matrix} {{\Delta \; x_{i}} = {{ky}_{i}\Delta \; t}} \\ {{\Delta \; y_{i}} = {{- {kx}_{i}}\Delta \; t}} \end{matrix}.} \right.$

The accumulator has the same capacity as the register, so the calculation formula of the displacement of the lance which driven by the second interpolation unit is:

$\quad\left\{ \begin{matrix} {x = {{\int_{0}^{t}{kydt}} = {\frac{1}{2^{m}}{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}{y_{i}\Delta \; t}}}}} \\ {y = {{\int_{0}^{t}{- {kxdt}}} = {{- \frac{1}{2^{m}}}{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}{x_{i}\Delta \; t}}}}} \end{matrix} \right.$

Similarly, in the two-dimensional plane formed by the X-axis and Z-axis, the calculation formula of the displacement of the lance which driven by the second interpolation unit is:

$\quad\left\{ \begin{matrix} {x = {{\int_{0}^{t}{kzdt}} = {\frac{1}{2^{m}}{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}{z_{i}\Delta \; t}}}}} \\ {z = {{\int_{0}^{t}{- {kxdt}}} = {{- \frac{1}{2^{m}}}{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}{x_{i}\Delta \; t}}}}} \end{matrix} \right.$

Referring to FIG. 10, the initial value XO of X-axis and the initial value YO of Y-axis are placed in the corresponding registers, each time a control pulse is sent out, the two initial values are accumulated to the corresponding accumulator respectively. The overflow pulse of X-axis is used for driving the motor corresponding to Y-axis in the negative direction, the overflow pulse of Y-axis is used for driving the motor corresponding to X-axis in the positive direction. At the same time, the register value corresponding to the X-axis should be reduced by 1 if the Y direction overflows an impulse. Coordinate values are continuously corrected so that the stored initial values are also updated when the position is updated until the end of interpolation. The implementation principle of circular interpolation in the other two planes is the same, except that the feed direction of each coordinate axis and the correction of register contents are different.

In circular interpolation, if there is a problem in the judgment of the end point, this module cannot work normally, and in serious cases, it will cause damage to the spraying machine performing interpolation. The judgment of the end point of circular interpolation is different from that of linear interpolation, which depends on whether the sum of the steps along the axes X and Y is consistent with the total number of steps to reach the end point. In this embodiment, two counters X_total and Y_total are used to store the distance between the end point of the two axes and the initial point respectively. If the number of steps reaches the maximum number |Xe−Xs|+|Ye−Ys|, the interpolation will be ended. In addition, a half-loading method is also used to reduce errors and improve interpolation accuracy. In the process of interpolation, the correction of integrand and feed direction should be determined according to the quadrant where the arc is located and the direction of the arc. Taking the XY plane as an example, the interpolation correction parameters of each quadrant are shown in Table. 2.

TABLE 2 interpolation correction parameter table Along the arc Inverse the arc Quadrant 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Direction of feed +Δx +Δx −Δx −Δx −Δx −Δx +Δx +Δx in X-axis Direction of feed −Δy +Δy +Δy −Δy +Δy −Δy −Δy +Δy in Y-axis Correction of the − + − + + − + − integrand JVx Correction of the + − + − − + − + integrand JVy

The interaction module includes a keying circuit, a keying judgment unit and a display circuit. The keying circuit has a plurality of keypad switches arranged in a matrix; the keypad switches in each line are connected at one end and the connected ends are formed as a line output end, the keypad switches in each column are connected at the other end and the other connected ends are formed as a column output end. The keying judgment unit is used for determining the on-off state of the keypad switches according to the state changings of the line output ends and the column output ends, and transmitting the corresponding state information. The display circuit is used for displaying the on-off state according to the keying judgment unit. The keying judgment unit is used for transmitting the state information to the primary processor and the display circuit; the primary processor generates the motion information according to the state information.

The motion control system of spraying machine is in the vibration environment, this may lead to the output of the power supply voltage is not stable, and reliable power supply is the precondition of the whole control system can work stable, and small volume of power supply module is advantageous to the circuit wiring and save the development costs of circuit board, so the design of the power module in the system hardware plays an important role. The input voltage of motion controller is 24V, the work voltage of peripheral circuits is 5V, the work voltage of the port I/O is 3.3V, the kernel operating voltage of the FPGA chip is 1.2V.

Referring to FIG. 11, the power module includes a first voltage conversion circuit, a second voltage conversion circuit and a third voltage conversion circuit. The first voltage conversion circuit is used for converting an external input voltage of 24V to a voltage of 5V. The voltage conversion chip of the first voltage conversion circuit is a chip of LM 2576 S , and supports USB power input. The first voltage conversion circuit uses the diodes to realize the over-current protection function, to prevent the voltage reversal, and adds inductance and capacitance for filtering and decoupling, to filter out the interference, and to prevent the voltage fluctuation from affecting the system work.

Referring to FIGS. 12 and 13, the second voltage conversion circuit is used for converting the voltage of 5V to a voltage of 3.3V. The voltage regulator chip of the second voltage conversion circuit is a chip of AMS1117-3.3. In order to improve the quality of power supply and eliminate the influence of noise on the system, two capacitors are added to the output to reduce the influence of power disturbance and high-frequency noise on the whole circuit. The maximum output current of power supply circuit with 1.2V is 800 mA. The third voltage conversion circuit is used for converting the voltage of 3.3V to a voltage of 1.2V.

Referring to FIGS. 14 and 15, the main function of the crystal oscillator of the clock and recovery circuit is to supply the reference frequency. In this embodiment, 8 MHz crystal oscillator is used to generate the working clock of the main processor, and 32.768 KHz high frequency crystal oscillator is used to generate the real-time clock capable of timing. The system needs a stable reset circuit to work normally, so that connecting the reset pin on STM32 to the 3.3V power supply through 10K resistance. When the reset button is pressed, the system will respond to the reset signal to reset.

Referring to FIG. 16, the interface connection of the download circuit is shown. JTAG is a standard test protocol. By using the simulator to connect to the JTAG interface, the bus and port IO in the chip can be accessed to realize connection debugging. Standard JTAG configuration interface includes: data input TDI, data output TDO, state machine mode control pin TMS, clock TCK, system reset signal nTRST, low level effective. When TCK is to pull down the connection ground, TMS, TDI and TDO are pulled up by a resistor of 10K according to the standard IEEE 1149.1, which can ensure the data edge with good driving ability.

Referring to FIG. 17, SPI bus is used for communication between STM32 and FPGA. SPI is fully called serial peripheral interface and is a high-speed full-duplex communication bus, so the bus interface circuit is shown. With a capacity of 128 Mb, it is more flexible and has better performance than ordinary serial memory and can provide data to RAM immediately. SPI contains four buses, among which SCK is clock signal generated by host STM32, NSS signal represents chip selection of slave FPGA, MOSI is data output by STM32, and MISO is data returned by FPGA. When the chip selection signal output is low, MOSI and MISO signals are valid and send one bit of data per clock cycle. Signal WP is the write protection input. When the value is zero, the write protection is turned on and data cannot be written into the chip. When STM32 and FPGA need to conduct data interaction, they need to use their serial registers for temporary data storage before sending through their respective data input signals.

Referring to FIG. 18, the clock circuit of the chip of EP2C35F484C8N is shown. The added resistance in the circuit can optimize the crystal oscillator output, and the capacitor 104 is mainly used for decoupling. The negative effects of power disturbances should also be considered, so add magnetic beads to mitigate this effect. The configuration circuit is shown in the figure. The EP2C35 series chips support JTAG configuration and AS active configuration. With JTAG configuration, JTAG interface and Quartus II software can be used for downloading. The AS configuration circuit must be matched with the configuration chip, and the signal in total includes seven kinds of chip selection control nCS, data output DATA, active control input ASDI , input clock DCLK and nCE, CONFIG-DONE, and nCONFIG. The signals CONFIG-DONE and nCONFIG are connected to the 3.3V power supply through 10K resistance and nCE grounded through 10K resistance to ensure that whether the configuration pin is in JTAG configuration or in normal use, the level output is correct.

In the motion controller, displacement and direction pulses of each axis are output by interpolation and rotation control modules. After all pulse signals are converted into differential signals by the conversion chip, they are output to the motor driver, and then the stepping motor is controlled to operate in accordance with the instructions. The function of difference is to determine the signal value according to the voltage difference, which can effectively suppress electromagnetic and other external interference. Compared with the traditional interface I/O, differential signal transmission has the advantages of fast speed, low power consumption and low price. Therefore, in the motion control system, the pulse signal, direction signal and more signals are used differential signal, so as to improve the anti-interference ability of the system.

Referring to FIG. 19, differential signal conversion chip AM26LS31 is used to realize differential signal output in the motor drive circuit. The direction signal and displacement signal of the axes X, Y, Z, W and V are converted into differential output mode respectively, and then connected to the motor driver through the wiring terminal of the output end to control the motor to move.

Referring to FIGS. 20 and 21, in the system transmission process from the controller to the spraying device, there are limit switches, sensors, indicators, start/stop signals, etc. These switch signals need to pass the level conversion and corresponding isolation before they can be input or output by FPGA. The optical coupler is designed to isolate the signal at the output end and the input end. The optical coupler has good common mode suppression ability and the signal is unidirectional transmission, which can guarantee the reliability of the signal. The input and output isolation circuit of this embodiment adopts photoelectric coupling isolator PS2801-1 for isolation, which can prevent external interference. The input isolation circuit is shown, with a total of 8 channels of digital input, and 3.3V power supply is pulled up on both sides of the optocoupler. Meanwhile, in order to avoid the influence of unstable signals on the system, capacitors are added on both sides of the circuit, which can effectively isolate the controller from the interference of strong current of the spraying device. Internal low speed digital output total 4 channels. In order to control the inductive load such as solenoid valve, the requirement of driving current is relatively large. Therefore, after PS2801-1, connect MMBT1616A SMT transistor to amplify the current and avoid the loss caused to the system when the current is suddenly interrupted.

Referring to FIG. 22, the interface circuit of input and output is as shown. At the input end, it can be connected to peripheral equipment through terminal blocks to control the start, stop, reset, limit switch and other data quantity of each axis. At the output end, it can be connected to extended peripheral equipment, such as connecting driver, water pump, solenoid valve, etc.

Referring to FIGS. 23 and 24, in this embodiment, the controlling can be realized by matrix keyboard, which can reduce the occupied port. The circuit includes four lines and seven lines, so the number of keys in the keyboard is 4×7. When pressing the key, two lines and lines connected to the key are connected. At this time, the level changes, and the position of the key can be determined after the MCU detects it. The functions defined by the key include ten numeric keys from ‘0’ to ‘9’, the input keys of minus sign and decimal point, the up, down, left and right selection keys, the confirmation and deletion keys for input information, the start and pause keys for control system operation, etc.

The system consists of 28 membrane buttons in 4 rows and 7 columns. By coding and scanning each key, determine which key was pressed. The keyboard input of the cyclic scanning method is executed in the interrupt of arm, and the keyboard scanning is detected every one millisecond. After the keyboard input, the system will be notified, because when the system detects that the keyboard input is valid, it will send the scan code access information to other subsequent links. Jitter removal is used to prevent the key from bouncing when it is released.

Referring to FIG. 25, the LCD display circuit is shown, and a 19264 lattice LCD module is adopted in this embodiment. 19264 lattice refers to the resolution of the LCD module, that is, there are 192*64 dots, and the LCD display circuit consists of 192 rows and 64 columns. It uses the dynamic driving principle to carry on the line control, the working voltage is 5V, and the interface with CPU uses 7-bit control bus and 8-bit parallel data bus input and output.

Users can set the corresponding parameters of the system through the keyboard and observe the real-time dynamics of the system through the display interface. Display programming includes LCD initialization, write data, write command, display character design. To ensure the normal display of liquid crystal, it is necessary to initialize the parameters that affect its operation, such as reset liquid crystal and display contrast. When writing data or commands to the LCD module, make sure the driver timing is correct. Referring to FIG. 26, the display flow chart is shown. When the display screen continuously displays, coordinates or other contents, it will execute the write command to the write data part repeatedly.

STM32 is used as the host, FPGA is used as the slave, and the bus module uses SPI bus to realize the communication between them. SPI can send and transmit without conflict, and its clock frequency can be defined according to the application environment, which can protect against write data conflicts and bus competition. The working principle of SPI is that the host machine writes a byte to its SPI serial shift register to start the transmission, the register sends bytes to the slave through MOSI signal, and the slave sends the contents of its register back to the host through MISO signal to complete the content exchange between the two. Read and write operations are always done at the same time. If only write data is performed, the host does not need to receive the content sent back. If the host wants to read data from the machine, it needs to transmit an empty byte to trigger.

SPI transmission protocol has four control modes, which are determined by clock polarity CPOL and clock phase CPHA. Clock polarity refers to the level value of SCK signal line when SPI communication equipment is idle, CPOL=0. At this time, SCK is the low level, while CPOL=1 is the opposite. The clock phase determines when the data is sampled. When CPHA=1, the data signals are sampled along the even edge of the SCK clock, and when CPHA=0, the data signals are sampled along the odd edge of the clock. In this article, CPOL is configured as 0 and CPHA is configured as 1, that is, the clock rising edge sampling.

The main mode configuration steps for STM32 are as follows:

Initializing SPI2, setting SPI2 to the working modes of CPOL=0 and CPHA=1, and configuring the pins with reuse function; the data format is set to eight bits with the top order at the front;

Setting the SPI2 clock frequency and enable the clock;

Writing data into the register, reading the number received from the SPI data register; and

Viewing SPI transfer status.

The design steps of FPGA as slave program are as follows:

Receiving chip selection, clock and data input signals from STM32, and using edge detection to obtain clock rising and falling edges for sampling or sending data; for asynchronous signals that are not in the same clock domain, the signals at both ends of the MCU and FPGA need to be synchronized, which can be realized by using two D flip-flops;

Designing of SPI communication protocol to judge whether SPI_csn is effective, the data is sampled when the rising edge of the clock is coming, and the data is sent when the falling edge is coming; defining the start and stop signals during communication, and the valid data input format is: CMD command signal+address signal addr, data signal; data is also defined as eight bits, all of which are at the top; when CMD is 1, the data is written to the address, and when CMD is 0, the data is read;

The rising edge of the signal SPI_csn represents the completion of data writing and the rising edge of SPI_clk represents the output data; the data sampling signal is obtained through edge detection and output;

SPI bus transmission module implemented in FPGA with Verilog language is shown; FPGA receives STM32 eight-bit data datai transmitted by SPI MOSI signal from the slave machine, and writes them into the corresponding register address respectively; the functional simulation waveform of SPI bus module is shown in FIG. 3.20; when the data 00, 20, 4e, 01, 00, 61, ea, 03 and 04 are written into the addresses 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 08, 09 and 0a respectively, the output data datao is displayed correctly and the data stored in each address can be read out normally.

As described above, when accelerating or decelerating, the current speed of the lance changes according to a given acceleration, so that the control process is simple, the resource consumption is small, the response is quick, the processing speed is fast, and the efficiency and real-time performance are relatively high. The interpolation module can select the first interpolation unit or the second interpolation unit to work, select the corresponding interpolation mode, and then output the direction and displacement pulse of each axis to the respective motor for driving after interpolation, so as to complete the linear or circular interpolation through the rotation of the motor. In addition, the control unit drives the corresponding second motors to control the corresponding clamp or lance to rotate and keep it perpendicular to the spray plane. In the interpolation process of the interpolation module, by using the initial data stored in a register firstly, and then to the inside of differential accumulation until a pulse overflow, while the pulse is as an equivalent pulse, it runs fast. Further, the pulse distribution is uniformity, and the motion controller can complete interpolation of multi-axis linkage machine with high processing accuracy and guarantee the real time.

Moreover, the primary processor and the motion controller can use the scheme of ARM+FPGA, this can meet a variety of requirements such as low cost, high precision, and can complete the spray to the task safe and reliable. In addition, ARM has strong real-time performance, and the control and management performance are good. Similarly, the motion control algorithm is implemented inside the FPGA, which can simultaneously control the motion of five motor axes, improving the accuracy and speed of motion control, and has extensibility.
